Inspired by great artists like Bernini, Borromoni, Guarino Garini, Baroque art appeared in Italy and developed in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. At this time, the churches and chapels of Savoy, often of medieval origin, were enlarged or transformed. If the exterior remains sober, the interior is richly decorated: in the choir, the altarpiece attracts all eyes and becomes a real catechism in images. Baroque is the art of staging, of movement with the play of drapery and light, trompe l'oeil, gilding and bright colors, curves and counter-curves, volutes, dramatization and theatrical productions... It is the expression of grandeur and excess to seduce the faithful.
Prices and days of visits are present on My Week in Les Arcs, the Entertainment Program or in Tourist Offices.
This cultural hike, led by a mountain guide and a tour guide, will allow you to explore the Notre Dame des Vernettes Chapel and the villages on the slopes of Peisey-Nancroix.
